Guide to CBD Capsules
CBD capsules are one of the simplest ways to take CBD. Each one contains a pre-measured amount, so there is no dropper, no measuring and no taste to get used to. Here is what to know before you buy, and how to choose a quality capsule.
Why choose CBD capsules?
Capsules appeal to people who want CBD to be as easy as possible. The main reasons people pick them:
- Pre-measured. Each capsule contains a fixed amount of CBD, so you always know your dose.
- No taste. If you are not keen on the natural, earthy flavour of hemp oil, capsules avoid it completely.
- Convenient. Easy to take with your other daily bits, and simple to carry when you are out or travelling.
- Discreet. They look just like any other capsule.
CBD capsules vs CBD oil
The two most popular ways to take CBD are capsules and oil, and each has its place. Capsules give you a fixed, taste-free dose but are absorbed a little more slowly, as they pass through your digestive system. Oil taken under the tongue is absorbed more quickly and lets you fine-tune your dose, but it does have the natural taste of hemp. Neither is better, it simply comes down to what fits your routine.
Full spectrum, broad spectrum or isolate?
Capsules come in different types of CBD, just like oils. Full spectrum keeps the whole hemp profile with a legal trace of THC, broad spectrum removes the THC, and isolate is pure CBD only. Our capsules are full spectrum, so you get the complete plant profile in a convenient, pre-measured form.

How to take CBD capsules
Capsules could not be much simpler. Swallow one with a glass of water, with or without food. Many people take them at the same time each day, as consistency tends to matter more than taking large amounts. Start with the serving on the label and adjust from there. For reference, the Food Standards Agency’s current advice is around 10mg of CBD a day, down from 70mg until late 2023. We think that is very cautious, and our 40mg, 80mg and 120mg capsules exist precisely because regular users work up to higher amounts. If you take prescription medication, check with your GP or pharmacist first.
CBD capsule strengths explained: 40mg, 80mg and 120mg
Not all capsules are the same, and picking the right strength makes all the difference. Strength simply means how much CBD is in each capsule, measured in milligrams. Our high strength full spectrum CBD capsules come in three strengths:
- 40mg is a sensible starting point if you are newer to CBD or prefer a gentler amount.
- 80mg is our most popular strength, for people who already take CBD regularly.
- 120mg is our high-strength capsule, for experienced users who would rather take one capsule than several.
If you are not sure which to go for, it is usually best to start lower and build up until you find what suits you. Higher-strength capsules are popular with people who already know CBD works for them and want the convenience of a single capsule. For more on choosing, see our CBD strength and dosage guide.
What to look for in a quality capsule
Not all CBD capsules are the same. Before you buy, check for:
- Clear labelling that states the CBD content per capsule.
- CBD that has been lab-tested, with results available on request.
- A transparent, UK-based seller you can actually contact.
- Vegan-friendly capsules if that matters to you.
Our capsules tick all of those boxes. We are a husband-and-wife team who have been making honest CBD in the UK since 2018, and our CBD is lab-tested at source.
